Linden street Christian Church.

Services at the Linden Street Chris.
tisn church were peculiarly interest
ing and attractive. The auditorium
had been closed for several weeks to
receive new pipe organ and other
Improvements, and when the congre-
CATION assembled yesterday they could
scarcely recognise the room as their
former place Of worship. The organ
stands Immediately behind the pulpit,

ture, which ia new ard handsome. In

Of the room, Is q platform for the
communion table aud Its furniture,
which Ia also new aud beautiful. A
prominent part Of the Sunday morn
ing service Of this church Is the COM
munion, which they take every Sun
day, according TO the custom Of the
primitive disciples.
Promptly at IL o'clock the Rev.
David Walk, bic con, the Rev. George
Edward Walk, and the pastor OF the
church, the Rev. Mr.. Briney, took
positions on the platform, AID q
beautiful opening quartet was sung by
the choir, which consisted OF Miss
Maria Hittieid, Mrs. s. j. Latta, Mr..
X. Ryan and Mr.. w. ii. Son field, after
which hymn wss sung by the con-
gregation, led by the choir. The
pastor then read the morning Scripture
leeson, and the Rev. George Edward
Walk offered fervsnt and impressive
prayer, Thich was followed by another
hymn, in which the congregation
| joined. Then the Rev. David Walk,
In very impressive wsy, attended 10
the administration OF the communion,
alter which the congregation sang an.
other hymn, which was followed by q
beautiful ofiertory from the choir,

does not date His sacrifice OF Himself

Turner's Sloppy Manner.

Turner's abruptness of speech is still
remembered at Farnley. A genuine love
of art runs through the Fawkes family,
and one of the daughters, anxious for his
criticism, ventured one day timidly to
lay before him a water color drawing of
her own. His only comment was, ssPut
it in jug of water.' Her momentary
chagrin was great, but on turning the
advice over in her mind she became per-
suaded that in that one pregnant sentence
Turner had revealed one Of his secrets.
He certainly worked in what may be
called sloppy manner.
Only once did he relax his usual Sc
cretiveness, and let Mr.. Fawkes see him
at work. At breakfast one morning the
conversation turned upon war ships, and
Mr.. Fawkes, handing small bit of paper
to Turner, said: "Show me the size of a
man of war on that" The idea tickled
Turner. He took his host to his room,
and in his presence and before the end of
the morning produced the highly finished,
marvellous water color now hanging in
the saloon at Farnley, called "The First
Rate taking in Stores The same ship
is repeated three times at different angles
and different distances, with every de-
tail accurate and clear. It was a wonder
full feat of memory and of speed, but the
method of working was no less remark
able. The paper was soaked, blistered,
daubed, rubbed, scratched with the
thumb nail (kept hideously long for the
purpose) until at length beauty and order
broke from chaos. Magazine of Art.

Medical Humor.

The celebrated physician, Ricord, was
one day walking along the boulevard in
Paris, when he met an old gentleman
who was very rich, but who was at the
same time noted for his extreme stingi-
ness. The old man, who was somewhat
Of a hypochrondriac, imagined that he
could get some medical advice from Ric-
ord without paying for it.
'sDoctor, am feeling very poorly
ssWhere do you suffer most?''
ssIn my stomach, DOCTOR
"Ah, that's bad. Please shut your
eyes. That's right. Now put out your
tongue, SO I can examine it closely.
The invalid did as he was told. After
he had waited patiently for about ten
minutes he opened his eyes, and found
himself surrounded by a crowd, who
supposed that he was crazy. DIR. Ricord,
in the meantime, had disappeared.

The Shakers of New Lebanon.


They are queer people to look at. If
they were not pitiful they would seem
ridiculous. The men, as rule, are tall,
thin, bent. They dress in conventional
garments of dark colors, which fit them
like the covers on bicycles; not as well,
perhaps. They wear hats of different
materials, but all have a very broad
brim. The broadness of the brim seems
to indicate devoutness, as the length of
the finger nail in China indicates schol-
arly rank. When they go to church the
men march together, two and two. They
bend slightly, fix their eyes ahead of
them, say never word. A smile seems
sin. They pay great attention to
dietetics, but are mostly poor subjects
physically. Any student of religion from
the standpoint of social utility would find
them a valuable field of investigation,
just as all abnormal cases throw light on
the vexed problems of any science.
The women appear better. There is a
peculiar cheeriness and sweetness about
them unless they are over 35, when, as
rule, they show physical decadence dis
proportionate to their years. They dress
in deep Shaker bonnets of yellow straw
and wear gray gowns without artificial
aids to symmetry. The skirts fall away
from the waist straight and simple. An
invariable handkerchief about the neck
covers the chest in prim simplicity. The
dresses vary slightly in color, but are all
in soft grays and browns. The effect of
small company of them marching to
church is unique. They look exactly
like the little women that come in toy
boxes for toy villages. At times they
seem like strange focks of little human
birds with the lavender and white plum
age of the sea gull. The faces of the
young women are bright and CHEEKY and
fresh. Those of the elders are drawn
and unhappy.

what Doctors Prescribe.

The subscribers to The Chemist and
Druggist, London, having been asked to
send to the editor 10000 prescriptions, a
digest Of the answers received shows
that spirits of chloroform, sal volatile,
glycerine, and sirup of orange peel take
high places as drugs most frequently pre-
scribed-to these being also added brc-
mide of potassium, which ranks second
only to chloroform. Wine of ipecacuanha,
sulphate of quinine, bicarbonate of soda,
carbonate of ammonia, liquor ammonia,
acetatis, potassii bicarbonatis, and
spiritus etherin nitrosi are the other
members of the group of twelve drugs
most frequently ordered. Several of
these minister to the disorder of the
respiratory tract, and the time of the
year may have some influence on their
use. This kind of information cannot,
however, be regarded as representative.
Thus, if the statistics of some hospitals
and dispensaries were taken, bicarbonate
Of soda, rhubarb, and gentian would, it
is thought, exceed the other drugs in re-
spect Of frequency of prescription; fur
ther, spirit of chloroform and sirup of
orange peel are mainly used as adjuncts

A Wonderful Little Engine.

At New Britain, Conn.,, one day, not
long ago, the Case Engine company was
organized with capital stock of $500, 900.
The invention is of a unique character,
and the history of its development reads
like romance. Case, the inventor, has
been at work on it fifteen years. His
theories have been laughed down, but he
has persevered, spending time and money.
The sale of patent on water wheel for
$25, few years ago, tend sufficed
to keep the wolf from the door. Other
patents have brought him something, but
his main attention has been concentrated
on the engine. A few weeks ago he
solved the problem. With few pieces
of cast iron he has constructed a ten horse
power engine that is only eighteen inches
long and eight inches wide. 1t certainly
does the work. All tests have been ap-
piled. Skeptical machinists who saw it
at first refused to believe that there was
not something concealed, as the engine
hangs from the wall like piece Of shaft
ing. 1t has been run for a low cost per
day. Case was suddenly besieged by
capitalists. In fortnight he received
$4,000 for the refusal to form a company.
He will eventually get $4,000 in cash
for his patents and $75, 900 in stock

What a Small Boy Can Do.

1t appears impossible to predict what
the average small boy will do under
almost any given circumstances if he has
an opportunity to work mischief. The
following story from Pilot Point, Tex,
serves to illustrate the point taken: New
ton Tabor was digging well. To blast
out the rock he used dynamite inclosed in
small metallic capsules. In the course Of
his operations he deposited an open box
of these dangerous capsules at the root Of
a tree near where he was working. A
ladder leaning against the tree reached
up to mocking birds nest containing a
young brood. His 10-year-old son Dick,
with a couple of the capsules in his hand,
ascended the ladder, and discovering the
young birds with distended mouths, boy
like, dropped the capsules, one at time,
in one birds mouth. They forthwith
disappeared in the birds craw. This
rendered the bird uncomfortable, and in
struggle for relief it fell from the nest
Upon striking the ground an explosion oc-
CURED which tore up the earth, dumped
a quantity of the loose dirt, and the frag-
ments of rock piled around into the weA
and came near killing Mr.. Tabor, who was
working down below. The boy fell from
the ladder and was badly hurt, suffering
the fracture of some bones. This shows
what boy will do when he gets chance.

Steamship Nomenclature.

A study of steamship nomenclature
disclose some rather interesting facts.
The Guion line boats favor the names of
territories, and hence we have the Alaska
and the Arizona. The names of the
